– Pellet use varies by mill & region – Europe accounts for 33% of imports, NE Asia 17% – Largest importers of pellet: China, Japan, Germany, Saudi Arabia, Turkey – Chinese mill requirements for high grade ore converging with developed country requirements:
- Higher blast furnace productivity (supply-side reforms)
- Reduction in air emissions (environmental protection a top priority
for government)
- Improvement in final product quality

Exports of pellets peaked in 2010 at c. 150MT CRU breakeven pellet cost curve to China:
– Pellet exports peaked in 2010 & since declined 14% – In 2019, CRU expect pellet exports to fall approximately 10MT: – Incumbents in Sweden, Canada, Bahrain & new supply from India & Iran +c.7-9MT
- Chile c. -2MT
- Brazil c. -11MT
– Other Brazilian restart & volumes remain unclear – Pellet breakeven cost curve is moving to the left as supply exits the market
Ferrexpo was third largest pellet exporter in 2019:
Definition: Business Costs/Breakeven costs are the sum of Realisation Costs and Site Costs. Site Costs gives the ex- works cost of mining and processing the ore. Realisation costs include the cost of getting the material to market, the marketing of the material and the financing cost of selling the material. The power of Business Costs is that by adjusting all product qualities relative to the same benchmark (62% fines product delivered north China) it allows all mines to be compared on a cost curve on a like-for-like basis. This also means that by subtracting the benchmark price from the business costs for a mine you get an estimate of cashflow from that operation.

- Steel margins to recover from lows seen in 4Q 2018 but not to 2018 highs
- Pellet premiums strongly correlated to steel margins
- Seaborne supply of pellets to remain tight following major supply disruptions in Brazil
- Expect higher received prices in 2019
- Continue repairs & maintenance programme, including 75 day pellet line shutdown in 2H 2019.
2019 production volumes to be in line with 2018
- Costs subject to production volumes, commodity input prices, the Hryvnia exchange rate &
local inflation, also reflect higher repair and maintenance expenditure
- Subject to achieved pellet pricing & additional cash flow generation, capex will increase in 2019
to include spend on future growth projects. It is currently expected to be in a range of $220M to $300M.
